[Utopia] Volume label integration

["Felipe Contreras" <felipe contreras gmail com>]

Hi everyone,

I have been messing around with gnome-mount in order to get the
functionality I want.

Basically I want to label my volumes, even if the filesystem doesn't
support labels.

I want:

a) Disk mounter to show the volume label
b) Nautilus to show the volume label
c) gnome-mount to mount the volume to /media/<label>

gnome-mount provides some facilities to automatically mount the volume
into some "Mount Point" which is not actually a mount point, but
semi-label like mount point thing. [1] This only provides c)

The only way I found to do that is to create an user-policy for hal.

I guess basically what I would like is to fake-label my volumes in a
per-user way. But in fact I would like {disk_label}-{volume_label}, or
{disk_label}-%d if there's no volume label, or {disk_label} if there's
only one volume.

Also why does the Disk Mounter applet displays "Kingston DataTraveler
2.0" and Nautilus "246.0 MB Removable Volume"? That's not consistent.

What do you think?
